Hmmm....No response to this one. Let's just say that I'm new to 
Quadtone RIP but not exactly new to digital printing or certainly not 
to photography (or software, I've been an applications developer for 25 
years). So - when using a paper such as say, Hahnemuhle Museum Etching, 
should I just select "matte" as my media type and then pick the 
appropriate curve for the paper, not worryimng about the specific media 
type ? Seems to work well enough thus far, but I want to make sure I'm 
not missing something. TIA.

No response the first time - I'll try this again.

I have a number of ICC profiles installed. How do I get them to show up
in the Media Type combo box ?

That's what I do and I think most others if you look back in the 
archives of this list.

They don't show up in the 'Media" box.  They show up in the 'Curve Setup' box where you select the profile(s).

QTR does not use ICC profiles. And if it did it would not be a media type.
ICC profiles are similar to the QTR curves.

Well, Epson's driver at least on the 2200 reads the ICC profiles on hand to
display the paper types. Only for Epson papers though !

Yes, but that is the epson driver, not QTR. We can't help it if they don't
get it right. Profiles can be linked to paper types--after all, it is the
paper and ink combination that is being profiled. But media types are kinds
of paper and profiles are color management descriptions.

Agreed, but sometimes I would like to see something more descriptive than
just "Matte paper" under media type, especially if I don't have a curve for
a particular paper. Just a reminder of what the heck I did last, when I'm
printing up a storm and trying different substrates  and color management
for the same image.

 

As for Epson not getting it right - well, you're being a bit too critical
there. Their driver does get quite a few things right. It's just not
appropriate for all purposes.

You can save "presets" with descriptive names. These save all the relevant
printing parameters.
